but one second
if Pokemon don't mega evolve in the wild...
how can the entries say things like a mega evolved Pokemon hunting for food...
Rotom is at it again...
Michael Aiyedun Rotom and GF on drugs when making these entries. Including heights, and types and movesets, and move types.
but that's his argument. it's not from a bond, it's just a pokemon who touched one of the stones that were scattered everywhere by that ultimate weapon. any wild pokemon who found one would go mega. if it was from a bond you'd have a happiness requirement, and not be able to do it with the pokemon youjust caught seconds beforehand.
Maromania The problem with that is the fact that it's not enough for a pokemon to be just holding a mega stone to mega evolve. You need the keystone that a trainer has as well. I think that along with Rotom just messing with the trainer, any pokemon found mega evolved in the wild are pokemon that were released while still in its mega state. The trainer couldn't control them at all.
That might be why the adults keep talking about bonds. You have a better chance of controlling your frenzied and hurting pokemon if you have some sort of connection.
maybe. or maybe you just don't dare use it without the keystone. for all we know, Keystones just make the evolution more stable, keep them more easily bonded. the adults tell you that you can't do it without the keystone, but is that can't as in not possible or can't as in 'you're 10 and are not allowed to', or can't as in 'it is possible but you and the nearest town would die so it's not really an option'.
Maromania That's another plausable explanation. We're gonna need an official source to expand on this one cause it could be either/or right now. Then there's also the theory that is another example of Rotom messing with the trainer on some of these entries.
Pay close attention to the source of this information. The rotom pokedex and KUKUI. how much can we trust them being such large supporters of Z-power and all? In my opinion this is twisted info just to make mega evolution look bad rather than unbiased truth.
+lupin animations the Poképropaganda is real
HIDE YOUR CHILDREN!
one could also argue that the reason ghost types have darker entries is that rotom dex is trying to make his ghost friends look cooler
That's also definitely a posibillity.
They are talking about the side effects of not being in control at first, like Korrina's Lucario. The people of Kalos have known how to keep this stuff from happening swing that Mega stones started there, Alola might just be inexperienced.
Gyarados: "EVERYTHING IN MY PATH WILL BURN... but lemme set up some dragon dances first..."
*insert Focus blast/SuperPower being used*
MysticDohan that's it's normal none mega status.
Oh sure then I will use dragon dance too
Lol
The anime depicts both sides. Korrina's lucario becomes savage and "heartless" after mega evolving, though later it learns to control itself
Ikr, SM pokedex its literally gamefreak propaganda💀
Mega Salamence: The blood-soaked croissant
ShiningTotodile much brain such originallity
ShiningTotodile mega salamence: The edgy cresent
ShiningTotodile crossont
Mega Salamence rampages specifically because it looks stupid.
A.K.A Reaper from Overwatch but he’s a giant croissant dragon.
"Desire to BURN everything to cinders" That's why Lysandre used Mega gyarados
Gyarados does that anyway, so using it's mega form doesn't change a thing.
Keegan Stormblade Now Cyrus had a similar idea so it makes sense. That's why archie never used gyarados for that reason.
Galefuun Ninja Fairy Archie? All Archie wanted to do was ride Kyorge to Bikini Bottom to meet Sponegbob. I hear he's a really big fan.
Keegan Stormblade And Ghetsis wanted to use his kyreum to freeze everything and so he can marry Elsa. ;)
Galefuun Ninja Fairy And Maxie hates the guy that voiced him in the anime, so he wants Groudon to *BURN HIS LIFE TO A CRISP!!!*
X and Y: Mega evolution is caused by the bond between trainer and pokemon!
ORAS: Mega evolution is caused by the bond between trainer and pokemon!
Sun and Moon: Mega evolution hurts your pokemon!
I bet in the next game they are going to say that Z-Moves give pokemon cancer or something.
Nah, it just shows they lied toyour face.And considering Mega-Evolution never needed actual in-game bonding to happen (it wasn't dependant on Happiness for example), it makes sense. All you did was slap a power source and FORCED IT TO EVOLVE. Not to mention in the games it is "theorized" by the professor that it happens due to the bond between trainer and pokemon, but it's not confirmed as such.
And the Pokemon anime has sort of lost it's edge with time. It used to be have some very dark themes at times during early days. Like Sabrina. Hence the whole "oh yeah,all Mega Lucario needed was some good old loving from it's master" is just them making the whole thing tamer.
Gen VIII: Z MOVE MAKE POKEMON THROW UP
How about making this the new Ultra Necrozma entry: "In its true form, Necrozma destroys everything in its surroundings. This rage is even carried on to Pokemon bathed in Z-Power.
Pfft please, how about: Ultra Necrozma's Z move requires more energy then even it can give, it siphons off energy from it's Trainer which in most cases leads to death.
Team Plasma TRIGGERED
Fact: Mega Alakzam has the same base attack as regular Alakzam.
AHA!!!
also: Alakazam is one of, if not the only, Mega Pokemon to only gain a total of 90 points to it's base states rather than 100
O O F
All that for nothin
Mega Alakazam has no power in it's muscles. But why can it use Brick break or Focus Punch 🤔
Please tell me this is just Alolan propaganda against Mega Evolution.
Without a doubt.
Kyle Bryant no. It's likely true. Megastones harm Pokémon. I feal horable for using mega evolution
This generation is rigged
pretty much propaganda.
Kyle Bryant Probably. Professor Kukui writes the entries, so it's likely he's written these entries because he sees Mega Evolution as a competitor to Z- Moves.
They're telling us this so people stop requesting mega evolutions
Random Fan: I WANT *insert pokemon here* TO GET A MEGA EVOULUTION
Nintendo: that means you want them to suffer, check the entries bruh
The Dare 14 that's actually a good point...
+Phoenix158 can i say that mega evolution they all want?
Flygon.. they are raging that flygon deserves it ;-;
So in other words, they are encouraging mega flopping fish. (Mega Magikarp, Mega Feebas)
No Mega Arcanine
That awkward moment when Gengar's entry is pretty tame compared to the rest.
What's that Profile Pic?
And now Mega Evolution makes it homicidal. According to Ultra Moon: "It tries to take the lives of anyone and everyone. It will even try to curse the Trainer who is its Master!"
Shutup its not 😠😠😬😬😡😡😬😠😈😈😈😈😣😣😣😣😤😤😤
What's up with all those emojis? I don't even understand what you're saying.
what about mawile its never in pain or turn on anyone all it said that it can use its jaws to shred things
I kinda have a theory on this, I know this is almost a year old now but I believe that these awful side effects happen because of a lack of a bond, like in the Pokemon anime where Korrina's Lucario goes Savage and attacks only a set few targets, destroying everything and everyone in his way. We see in the same episodes that korrina's father (or grandfather, I dunno) and his Lucario can work together fine because of their bond. On later episodes it is only after Korrina and her Lucario build a good enough bond is when they can control the mega evolution form, and it is the bond itself that is keeping the Pokemon from suffering so greatly.
Tell that to Glalie's jaw.
@@SandwitchZebra The power of friendship can even stop the pain from a broken jaw!
Glalie agrees right?
@@Dexuz Glalie: Mph mph (Yup, no pain.)
Power of Friendship better give my Alakazam his Muscles
@@Dexuz that doesnt hurt its Broken jaw dont hurt glalie and the Pokedex is somethimes a worst instrument of learning
Strange, in the Sun pokédex entry, it says that Mega Kangaskhan actually is happy seeing it's child grow strong, making the mother even stronger
Combine the Entries.
"Mega Kangaskhan’s strength derives from the mother’s happiness about her child’s growth. Watching it grow up keeps her spirits high. But as the child is good only at fighting and nothing else, its mother feels uneasy about its future."
So, she's happy and animated that it's growing but she's also worried, makes sense tbh
Thiago Ecker Wessolowski Sounds like my mom
+ARB Pride It's a mom seeing her baby growing up early and doing nothing but fighting others. This is ignoring the fact that said mom is a type of creature which spends most of its life fighting as part of a continuous drive to grow stronger.
It's really just one of the most light-hearted Mega entries. It's a joke, basically, a contrast between typical mom behavior and the fact that it's ... really not all that much to worry about, between the temporary form change and the whole "going to be in a lot of fights anyway" thing.
Thiago Ecker Wessolowski
Since it's Pokèmon Moon, it makes sense why it's dark.
Those "terrible things" That is why Mega Evolution truly works with a strong bond. The power of that bond and the competency of the trainer tend to overcome a lot. At least, that's how I look at it. That's why Keystones aren't handed out to new trainers. The bad guys who wielded Mega Evolution probably had little idea of what they were putting their pokemon through...or in the case of those who still could bond with their pokemon, their pokemon still loved them and could handle the power boost.
TL; DR If you can't deeply bond with your pokemon, stay away from the Mega Stones.
ZeoViolet That's probably why so few trainers ever get a Key Ring with a Keystone in the first place. Only a select few can turn this overwhelming power to good use. Well done Game Freak, well done.
ZeoViolet And Imagine Shadow Pokemon Mega Evolving.....that be a nightmare.
Que: justification of being a monster
Imagine Greevil's return with an ARMY of Mega Evolved Shadow Beasts...
...
...
Not even a legendary would save you that time...
"Its bond with its Trainer is the source of its power. It boasts speed and maneuverability greater than that of a jet fighter."
that's a good Pokemon Index Entry for Mega Charizard Y
But Mega Charizard Y doesn't have a Pokedex entry
I think the megas are ancient forms of the pokemon
@@randomyoutubeuser261this is from Let’s Go
"Heartless"
Well, Mega Lucario was like that in the anime when fighting Pikachu. He bit him by the tail! Vicious!
I really don't see why alakazam losing its mussle strenght is all that bad, various pokedex entries state that Alakazam's mussles are so weak they move using their minds, so the mussles weren't doing anything useful anyways.
piluex2 ya but u also gotta remember that alakazam used to be a child who turned into abra
Robbie Is da best
That happened to one kid and was mentioned in one pokedex entry.
So... Alakazam shouldn't be a seafood chef.
Well it's gotta hurt to lose all the strength in your muscles that drastically
@@ShadowZone1996usually thats the case but Alakazam can manipulate gravity around his aura
That Game Freak employee's childhood must've been harsh. Their child is probably scared to death.
Game Freak just likes to scare children.
Oh come on, fairy tales and nursery rhymes are far worse than anything Pokemon has conjured up.
Welll Ash did lose the Kalos League
+Jonathan Vanesky Okay so that explains one of Annie's voice clips in LoL. Never heard of the "Ashes, Ashes" version before and had to look it up. Bloody American versions... XD
Game Freak's employees Mega Evolved to create an amazing game like Sun and Moon. But there was a cost: Their mental states
There seems to be some interesting takes on Mega Kangaskhan’s Dex entries.
Sun: “Mega Kangaskhan’s strength derives from the mother’s happiness about her child’s growth. Watching it grow up keeps her spirits high.”
Ultra Sun: “The explosive energy the child is bathed in causes temporary growth. The mother is beside herself with worry about it.”
Ultra Moon: “When the mother sees the back of her Mega-Evolved child, it makes her think of the day when her child will inevitably leave her.”
So… The mother is both proud and worried about the child?
I mean theres no way you don't realize that is normal for mothers right? My mom is proud of me but worried about me all the time
"It stores the excess energy from Mega Evolution, so after a long time passes, its body starts to melt."
Ironic, it's only weakness is FIRE, and it's a four times weakness.
(Mega Scizor)
I think this is why they drive home why a bond is important for Mega Evolution, these messed up entries are the consequences of using Mega Evolution irresponsibly.
Good point. Half of these problems would be solved if the trainer clearly showed care after the Mega was over.
Imagine a mother Kangaskhan and her child being scared from the first Mega, the trainer coming up to them, hugging them, and maybe communicating that it's okay in some way (depending on if they understand human speech patterns).
Imagine a Lucario remembering how savage he was when Mega'd and just having a thousand yard stare for a bit before the trainer hugs them, feeds 'em some sweets and has some fun outside of battle.
It's power at a price, but that doesn't mean the price isn't worth paying under any circumstances. And it also underscores how seriously strong megas can be.
Tuckinator inator Interesting. They really need to do this more; hammer in the idea that Mega Evolution is a great tool to be used responsibly.
The Nerd Beast that makes sense. I feel like it would be cool if some Pokemon would disobey you in Meg's form if they didn't have a high enough friendship.
The Nerd Beast Exactly.
The Nerd Beast
well lets not let mega evoution become the 2nd digimon zero 2 then(#Moreloveforkalos
#Megasarenotacurse
so lets make make proof bonds are really needed for megas!
It's easy to imagine trainers bonding over the ideal of battle.
Think about it, why do you Mega evolve a pokemon?
To SMASH the opponent into a pulp with overwhelming power. The pokemon shares your sentiment, and carries out your deepest desire: WIN, Win by any means necessary.
Win- if you don't you'll get killed by the enemy
illusion756 & kamchatskiye - You guys should probably lay off the mega stones for a while...
Hakarne Uchiha
I...don't think they have their Mega Stones anymore. XD
Super Sonic Duo Professor Kukui probably took them xD
Hakarne Uchiha
The Gen 2 Starters deserve Mega Evolutions
"Having traded away its muscles, Alakazam’s true power has been unleashed. With its psychic powers, it can foresee all things."
Ironic, you get it in a trade
Some nighmarish Poedex entries i found...
*Spoink*
"Spoink bounces around on its tail. The shock of its bouncing makes its heart pump. As a result, this Pokémon cannot afford to stop bouncing - if it stops, its heart will stop."
*Drowzee*
"If your nose becomes itchy while you are sleeping, it's a sure sign that one of these Pokémon is standing above your pillow and trying to eat you dream through your nostrils."
*Pinsir*
It grips prey with its pincers until the prey is torn in half. What it can’t tear, it tosses far."
*Drifloon*
It is whispered that any child who mistakes Drifloon for a balloon and holds on to it could wind up missing. It tugs on the hands of children to steal them away."
*Phantump*
"According to old tales, these Pokémon are stumps possessed by the spirits of children who died while lost in the forest."
*Yamask*
"These Pokémon arose from the spirits of people interred in graves. Each of them carries a mask that used to be its face when it was human. Sometimes they look at it and cry."
*Gourgeist*
It enwraps its prey in its hairlike arms. It sings joyfully as it observes the suffering of its prey."
Z-moves vs Mega Evolution..................................people are saying that Rotom is being biased........that may be true
It's not Rotom, it's the dex Rotom went into!
Ransei
conspiracy confoormed
Bananas14 but Alain said it might cause pain too.
McPlays _
*Stab in heart............i must listen to Alain but i also said that People are saying Rotom is being biased
*****
yeah....................but they overcame it....
Well, the only thing that makes me turn down this theory personally is that whenever we see a Pokemon Mega Evolve in a controlled manor, they seem to revel in their power, to the point where I could say they looked more happy and more natural as Mega Pokemon.
Also that Pokedex entries aren't that reliable... remember Magcargo anyone?
Dunkaccino Yeah, pokedex entry says Macargo's shell is brittle and fragile, yet it still won't break when hit with Roar of Time.
Pokedex Entries = Extremely unreliable
Or flip-flopping between Skarmory being made of steel or just being as hard as steel.
Don't forget about the eggsecute being eggs and not being eggs
They definitely aren't reliable and these entries both make mega evolution out to be a common thing and something that lasts longer then it does. Like, baby kangaskang only is grown for a short while before it reverts. Even if it is causing the Pokemon pain, it's usually never more then half an hour stints.
Dude have you read the entries for the gen 8 fossils, they imply that those abominations EXISTED in ancient times.
Lmao
Kangaskhan's thing is the funniest seeing how it's already bringing it to battle. :P
Also: Theory Time!
Kukui lost to Lance who was using a Mega Salamance and got really salty and wrote these out of spite.
Didn't Rotom write these entries?
@@NeoSaturos123 Then I guessing Rotom wrote these entries because it was mad at not getting a mega form.
@@fireflygaming8764 or because it thinks that making it really dark is funny.
There's a fan theory that the pokèdex entries are intentionally written the way they are because the trainers who collect the data *are children,* and the entries are written by children, which is why they're so exaggerated and outlandish. Maybe the trainers who wrote the mega evolution entries are just in their edgy teenager phases.
hey why dragonite has no mega
cause the mega-stone will be called dragon-ite
Actually it'd be Dragonitenite.
Rimshot
You got my like
Or Dra-nite
How did you miss Golbat in Moon. It drinks blood until it becomes so heavy it falls from the sky and becomes prey for other golbat.
peacorptv Not other Golbat, prey in general.
YA DUN GOOF'D GOLBAT
"Oops."
peacorptv Minus the prey for other Golbat part, that's basically a rehashed dex entry. I remember reading that in one of the game or on a trading card.
peacorptv he's not a mega 😕
Sun and Moon: MEGAS ARE EVIL
Next Gen: Z MOVES ARE EVIL.
You know that is were there going
Z-Moves drain the life energy of the user, leaving the user to die without using much. Basically, a self-destruct that doesn't always leave the enemy dead
xdw
And don't forget Dynamaxing
*Watches this video*
*_Me:_* Oh...
*Immediately after uses Mega Evolution to win another 50+ battles*
3:47 That explains why Korrina had trouble with her Lucario in the anime.
Let's be honest, they only made these entries make Mega Evolution seem evil so they have an excuse not to make any more and to put focus on Z-moves. I guarantee that when the next big thing comes out they will make those things seem evil.
Eeveevium Z Entry: Extreme Evoboost takes every ounce out of energy Eevee has to perform. If it does it too much, it could lose its ability to evolve completely.
Or alternatively, this;
"There are reports that Z-Moves had caused greater destruction than even a Tyranitar was not able to do much. Unfortunately, most Trainers doesn't seems to cares and constantly use these moves. There are even reports that some Z-Moves are capable of actually killing a Pokémon when used by a Pokémon with malicious intents."
T.O.F (Theories, opinions & facts) they already do make z moves sound evil, I don't rember where exactly it was written but it was said in sun and moon the tapus actually became somewhat scared of z moves due to the level of destruction they bring.
That rings very true.
TimG57867 probably, the eevee puts its hormones in overdrive to raise its stats like that, according to your idea, than its growth hormones are unable to allow them to mature
You have to remember: They're only temporary transformations, all these changes in these Pokemon are merely temporary.
+Hunter Burnette "I only had to break my jaw 3 times today!"
-Mega Gallade
TheJWittz I think Mega Glalie would have it worse than Mega Gallade xD
+TheJWittz Were you trying to type Mega Glalie?
Glalie? haha your right lol, i feel bad for them...
Then again who uses mega glalie anyways. WHAT WOULD COMPEL SOMEONE TO USE THEIR ONE MEGA ON A POKEMON THAT IS EFFECTIVELY A BOMB
"It tries to take the lives of anyone and everyone. It will even try to curse the Trainer who is its master!"
(Mega Gengar)
So many conflicting opinions:
"This is the result of using Mega Evolution irresponsibly."
- I agree. Mega Evolution should not be used unless the trainer has a strong bond with their pokemon, so these things listed in the video will be less likely to occur. (Btw, excellent video, TheJWittz :D)
"Gamefreak lied so people would use Z-rings more."
- Well, I wouldn't say they 'lied', I'd say they are just encouraging use of Z-moves while disenheartening others from repeatedly spamming their emails and forums with 'I WANT MORE MEGA EVOLUTIONS!'
"Mega Evolution is a man-made process that trainers use to force their Pokémon to become stronger."
- It kinda is man-made, but the entire basis behind Mega Evolution is to have a strong bond with your trainer. This should be emphasized more often.
"Z-moves are more peaceful. Like the Pikachu one where it jumps into the trainer's arms."
- Yeah, it's adorable, and peaceful. Until the moment the trainer throws the Pikachu out of his arms like he just saw Mimikyu's true form.
"Pokémon were never meant to Mega Evolve."
- If they weren't meant to Mega Evolve, why is it included in the game? Even if it does harm the Pokemon (a reason it shouldn't be used) afterwards, the trainer will be there to comfort the Pokemon. It's OK to use it, as long as the trainer doesn't go power hungry and abuses the power of Mega Evolution. And since it can harm the Pokemon, that's why you don't see trainers using Mega Evolution right off the bat. Of course, that's a whole 'nother topic.
"Pokémon seem to revel in the strength they receive when Mega Evolving while they have the right bond with their trainer."
- I agree. Pokémon do seem to enjoy the strength they receive when Mega Evolving, since their trainer bears the Pokémon's pain along with them, lessening the strain.
"This is just some Kukui propoganda."
- Perhaps.
"Can we even trust these entries? It is a ROTOM dex, after all."
- Very suspicious.
"Mega Kangaskhan doesn't seem worried, according to the Pokémon Sun entry."
- Pokémon Sun and Moon are two different games, but they still happen in the same region, so most likely Mega Kangaskhan is still suffering... (Very harsh concept, sorry)
"Blood Soaked Crescent, more like Blood Soaked Croissant."
-Why is this mentioned so much? I don't want to eat a Blood Soaked Croissant...
And here we are. I'll bet you are wondering why the heck I typed out this long list when I could have just commented when I found them. Well, I don't have an answer for that yet, so feel free to comment below if you disagree or agree with those ideals listed above.
also, i thought Mega Evolution originated from Rayquaza eating Meteors and dropping pieces of them from the sky lol
i mean, wasnt able to mega evolve by eating Meteorites?
Either that or energy from Xernias/Yveltal exposed to evolution stones or from the energy from the Ultimate Weapon to said stones
You bring great dishonor to the Uchiha clan for not eating the blood-soaked croissant.
The blood soaked croissant nickname is a pun that works because a croissant and crescent have a similar shape.
Hakarne Uchiha for the last comment, i would say only if you were a vampire or zombie or don't really care about the stuff you eat :V
More like the blood soaked croissant
Toby Lerone LMFAOASDFGJKLTDHXGN
The Blood-Soaked Bagel.
u clearly don t get it
Croissant IS crescent in French though.
Harrison Strupp knock yourself out!
So... Mega Kangaskhan is Chichi? "Oh no, I don't want my child to be only good at fighting! Gohan, can't you focus on your schoolwork?!"
ChiChi is the worst
20XX Confirmed I blame that lady that Chichi took lessons from to be a good housewife and Goku for being such a terrible husband and father. I think Chichi is just under a lot of stress. (she did ruin Gohan though. he could've been so strong. shame.)
Every Kangaskahn must now be nicknamed "ChiChi". XD
hinata1ize She also has those neighbors making her feel ashamed of herself, so she ruined Goten too.
It's probably Rotom trolling us. Remember. Rotom is a prankster.
XY/ORAS: Mega Evolution is cool!
SM: That's where your wrong kiddo
Mineta is thanos nah armored evolution never happen, gigantamax instead?
SM: that’s where ur wrong S K I D D O
@Sukeban Deka Saki Sanobashi sadly there's no such thing. I think such crazy evolutions can only be introduced in Pokemon GO. 🤔🤔😎😎😎
At least Mega Slowbro ain't that dark. It mentions Slowbro being swallowed by it's Shellder and that we technically mega evolved the Shellder, not Slowbro
pahahahahahahahah
"THE ULTIMATE SHELLDER and its toy slowbro"
i always though that they were completing its symbiotic relationship. the shellder protects slowbro and focus on physical attributes while the slowbros protects shellder and focuses on mental attributes. the protect each others backs with their desired specialties.
lunerblade13
Ohhhh. I still prefer Slowking, thematically, though. There's just something really touching to me about the Pokémon considered the dumbest becoming the wisest of them all. It's like Magikarp power, but not fueled by Hatred
this means that pre evolved pokemon can also mega evolve, so...mega Eevee confirmed.
Caio Cursini
slowbro is fully evolved. it has branch evolutions you can choose either slowking or slowbro
I thought it was a joke...
But : *Nope*
Blaze Blockade But it eventually learned to control its power after it gained a proper bond with korrina...
Shadow Kawurpppppppppp
😑😐😐😐
Shadow Kawur he didn't prove it so you can't believe him
Blaze Blockade prove it so you can't believe it
In the anime Korrina's Lucario when it mega evolves is brutal and it didn't listen to her commands when she wanted it to stop fighting with Pikachu.
Z-Moves are much more friendly I mean look at Pikachu's Z-Move he just dances and jumps onto his trainer's arms.
Skeith and then his trainer throws him
Z moves are awful. I just hate em
Mr Boerger
"Catch me!"
"EW GEDDID AWAY"
BigGeekEmpire I like Z-Moves as a whole, to be honest.
Now, whether I like the poses the Trainer does to use the Z-Move is something else entirely.
Mike z moves animations are so stupid if for no other reason then the fact that a z move for hyper beam is the exact same z move for a tackle. The tackle z move actually fits the z move in use while it could not be farther from the truth for hyper beam, then there are legendaries that don't really get special z move animations for there signiture moves which are a missed opportunity and a completely stupid move on game freaks parts, honestly megas make far more sense to me then z moves, and there definitely a far better idea then alolan forms which are basically close to the definition of lazy design.
I think if anything this proves why mega evolution requires such a strong bond between trainer and Pokemon. If the two aren't in perfect sync then there's no way for the Pokemon to control the new power it was given. It's also why mega evolution is temporary because it takes so much out of a Pokemon to do it in the first place. It would probably make a lot more sense if there was a friendship requirement but I guess GameFreak didn't want to add another prerequisite to their big new game mechanic.
King of Karp thank u
King of Karp I think Gamefreak wants us to feel like @$$es for forcing our Pokemon to mega.
omg! you made me think, what if the bond is required so that the pokemon can handle it! like you take an unfimilia glalie and mega evolve it, the power is unsteady and its jaw breaks, yet if you create a super strong bond maybe the power is controlled and the pokemon suffers a lot less?
Just That One Guy
Ethier that or in their eyes: XY=Digimon adventure 02
Fighting Style: Heartless... in a Pokémon that evolved through friendship...
MAGIC
Igorcastrochucre Hey who said it'll be nice just cause you gave it all the friendship in the world,I mean you're forcing it to evolve into a state further than its final one
Mega evolution is just as you said, an artificial change brought on by alchemy. Processes like Battle Bond, Primal Reversion, Z-Moves and BREAK evolution(from the TCG) are natural changes. Hence why Z-Moves are given to you by Land Spirits (The Tapus). Ones a Pokémon/Trainer tapping into the power of Nature, the other's a forced change.
I would argue that these dark entries were to prepare us for the fact that they’ll cut mega evolutions in gen 8
Unpopular opinion: I think a dark Pokédex entry is cool every once in a while, maybe even funny. Like for Pokémon like Mewtwo or Sharpedo or Spiritomb. But Sun & Moon's Pokédex just take the cake. It almost makes me angry. Like, can I please enjoy the game? Can I have this one, imaginary bond with this collection of ones and zeroes without feeling bad every time I click a button? Christ's sake, its a kids game. Stop trying to edge-ify yourselves please, Game Freak.
It's Rotom in the Dex, or because Alola hasn't fully experienced Mega Evolutions yet.
they'v been doing that since the dawn of time or in this case the dawn of gen 1.
Not the entire dex though. Alola just takes it up a notch and it's rather...disturbing.
It's not even the entire Alola dex. Here's Brionne
It cares deeply for its companions. When its Trainer is feeling down, it performs a cheery dance to try and help.
Tapu Koko
This guardian deity of Melemele is brimming with curiosity. It summons thunderclouds and stores their lightning inside its body.
Nihilego
One of the Ultra Beasts. It's unclear whether or not this Pokémon is sentient, but sometimes it can be observed behaving like a young girl.
One is cheery, one is cool and one is mysterious/creepy, but not dark.
GRB13 I like to say the Pokedex is occasionally inaccurate. Sure, there's a few proven entries, but I agree; it's too dark and ridiculous.
I hope there'll be a national dex with the Pokémon Bank. I NEED to know what does the PokéDex say about Mega-Altaria and Mega-Ampharos.
I need to know what it says about Mega Latias, Mega Latios and Mega Rayquaza
Roi Pharamp OHMY GOD SAME
Does it say anything about Mega Gallade?
Roi Pharamp mega rayquaza, oh my god
Roi Pharamp Mega Ampharos is popular with hair stylists most likely.
I think that's why "the bond between Trainer and Pokémon needs to be strong". The Pokémon's gotta trust the trainer if it accepts to mega-evolve and still listen to its trainer despite the pain. We've seen something similar with Corrina's Lucario in the anime.
Actually, Lucario's Mega Dex entry makes sense when taking the Anime into consideration.
This is honestly bs. What the heck gamefreak? You tell us that Mega Evolution is a great showing of friendship and personal bonds and then basically tell us that we're terrible for Mega Evolving because "psyche! Mega Evolution is actually bad!". This feels cheap. Like they just want to write Mega Evolution out because they realized they made big mistakes with how they did it.
Sounds about right.
Silver Fang
etheir that or XY=Digimon adventure 02
You know what I think? I think that these pokedex entries are all based on what happens if the pokemon is *forced* to mega evolve. After all, the pokedex is based off of data collected from research. What better way to do research on it than to force them to mega evolve in a controlled environment with controlled conditions? Whilst some of the things that happen to them would have truth to them, such as the alakazam one, a lot of them wouldn't as they are based around a loss of control. I like to think of it like how in digimon greymon was forced to digivolve and lost control as skullgreymon, but later did it properly and was SUPER AMAZINGLY AWESOME, without any loss of control.
As much of a convenient excuse as this is, I refuse to believe that mega evolution is causing them to basically go insane for two reasons. 1, they still listen to you, and 2, I like my pokemon. I make sure they don't lose, I give them treats, I look after them. The possibility that this is hurting them just feels wrong.
FRKNSPACEWIZARD!!! Brett And that idea is reinforced in Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel. The main villain, Alva, has the Mega Wave, a device that makes multiple Pokemon Mega Evolve.
You'll notice that all of the Pokemon forced to Mega Evolve are in a lot of pain when the device is used on them, yet when you see Chymia use Mega Evolution on her Gardevoir, it isn't in pain at all.
Maybe because of the fact Chymia and her Gardevior have a strong bond to avoid said danger of mega evolving?
No wonder Alola region doesn't have Mega Stones till post game at the Battle Tree. Alola is a region that's a lot more focused on bonding with Pokemon and nature than other regions, so to use a tool that turns said pokemon into a more powerful being, but at the cost of their sanity and going berserk (like Korrina's Lucario in the anime), problemly not a good idea to give beginner trainers at age 11 Mega rings at the start of their island challenge.
DMD00 look mommmy! i found a salamencite!
Gea5s That's the worst one, lol, getting sliced in half by Salamance....oh dear the Pokemon world is indeed dangerous.
Gamefreak should make a feature that in order to use mega evolution like helpfully you will need to max your pokémon's happiness if it isn't your pokemon will be confused and not listen to your command and will only use attacking moves that after they use it they get hurt
Maybe this is why gen 7 switched to happy synchronized dances to power up you Pokemon.
The pokedex is like that one uncle that tells you terrible things when you start to enjoy something
"I got you a shirt, happy birthday."
"Wow, thanks a lot! I love it!"
"It came from a sweatshop."
Merry Christmas I got you a Xbox 1
Thanks so much
It was used
Gee, I can't believe you managed to get this for me!
I broke an old lady's fingers on Black Friday to get that for ya.
Nevermind then.
tbh, I think that Mega Evolution might be the Pokémon reverting to a primal form similar to Groudon and Kyogre
nick mooney
That doesn't makes much sense for Kangaskhan, but I think it was confirmed somewhere that it's like that for Aerodactyl.
PsychoticPudu Well, for most Pokemon.
In example: Maybe Beedrill used to look like It's Mega form but as time went on, they migrated to different areas that had faster predators and thus, they didn't need the larger body dragging them down but for some such as Kangaskhan or Gengar and especially Mewtwo (Unless Mewtwo already existed and wasn't known or multiple Mewtwo Teleported from different Dimensions), I can see how it wouldn't make sense
Nickolas Mooney makes you think there was a very specific reason people began capturing and training pokemon in the first place with that in mind.
Image you, a human in times where pokemon were unbelievably powerful and very violent. You had no true defense but your wits. As time went on and people ultimately sustained horrible injury or death, the drive to survive was pushed to the limit. Our "mega evolution" was a boost of intellect and with it, a simple and profound idea. What better to fight a monster than a monster? And thus, the first pokemon was captured (likely a baby) and raised to follow commands to protect its "pack". Utilizing this pokemons power and our tactful strategies, they were not only able to drive their predators away but capture new pokemon to fight alongside them as well, their natural urge for battle slaked upon defending their new human handlers who provided them homes and food in exchange.
As time went on, breeding these pokemon resulted more domestic and loyal breeds that are well known today, the once unsteady alliance between man and beast long enemy now noble friend and companion.
The original use of battle now obsolete in wake of growing utopia a tradition to remember what it was that bridged fear and pain and bound us in a bond of trust on the field of battle was formed. And the eternal bond of Trainer and Pokemon resonates forever more.
Fast forward several years and you indeed have gotten it pretty darn close
With those entries, I can't imagine HOW DARK could be Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions entries...
...
Pure evil...
You DO realize we only see those in the ALOLAN Pokedex,right?The people in Alola don't seem to like Mega Evolution.Have you ever heard of propaganda?There shouldn't be Mega Pokedex entries,they aren't in the wild.
Edit:Seriously,if these came from the Kalos Dex,I might believe them.But the Alolans likely hate Mega Evolution,as they don't like that it was formed as a powerup by something other than their Tapus.
Super Sonic Duo I agree.
You know the Pokédex has to go through many scientists from different regions and the system is also automated so no one can put a biased Pokémon description and the same system is used for every island.
@@hamstermain8327 the pokedex is written by a ten year old going on an adventure
@@hamstermain8327 red: sure buddy
Let's be honest everyone. This is ALL Gamefreak scrambling to get rid of Mega Evos. They say that mega evolving requires a bond to do but it doesn't. And guess what. Z-moves are the same way. They're just trying to phase out Megas so they don't have to make new designs and so the people in competitive stop whining about Megas being OP. Z-moves are just the easier alternative. Simple as that really.
mechanicobra well that's too bad for them I will never stop nagging them to bring in new megas, as far as I'm concerned the alolan forms are what need to go.
I mainly use Mega Absol and Mega Gardevoir, and neither of them seem to be hurt too badly by it
Zachary Chan I thought that was just fur? I remember back in XY the website said the power from mega evolving made its fur spike up into big wings. I will have to check
"The increased energy that courses through Absol's body after mega evolving causes its fur to stand up on end, giving it the appearance of wings"
Sun Pokedex Entry: When this Pokémon whips the winglike fur on its back as though beating its wings, it sends an intimidating aura flying at its opponents.
Moon Pokedex Entry: As the energy of Mega Evolution fills it, its fur bristles. What you see on its back are not true wings, and this Pokémon isn’t able to fly.
MarioWorlder123 lol
Well, as for Mega Absol, its aura causes the faint of heart to expire. (It also is said to hate going into that form.) Mega Gardevoir, who even knows since it still isn't in the USUM Dex, but maybe it goes yandere for its trainer, given how every other Dex entry goes.
Maybe that's what they mean when they say you need a powerful bond... Maybe it's not that Pokémon CAN'T Mega-Evolve without a trainer (we've seen that in at least a couple of cases, albeit both were legendaries); maybe it's just that Pokémon will only force themselves to Mega-Evolve if they believe the thing they're fighting for is worth it? And living things will do crazy things to protect the ones they love... Even risking unleashing a power like this inside themselves, knowing the harm it might do to their bodies and minds, because that sacrifice might save their dearest friend... But still, I never did like Mega Evolution, it always felt so empty.
Would be cool of having there is 2 methods
1 method is the keystone one, quick and easy but the downside is the side-effects will happen if the trainer's bond isn't strong enough
The other is doing it WITHOUT on the trainer but with the pokemon's own power
Training wthout humans, becoming strong and earning the right to mega-evolve
The big thing is it won't have to worry about the side-effects due to already strong enough to control it(as in EARNED that right to mega-evolve), but the big problem is its rare and can be really hard
Another way to add in that method is also if the pokemon has a intense emotions, like hatred or rage, grief, or good emotions like a deep love for another pokemon or a noble desire to protect
4:09 Lucario's face describes how I currently feel.
Lol. Alain even had a theory about Mega Evolution being a pain for Pokémon.
wait where did he say that?
Max Carere In the first Mega Evolution special. In a flashback, of course.
hm I don't remember him saying that, I guess i'll have to re watch that special, thanks for the info
Max Carere He definitely says it in the original version.
wait by original version do you mean the original japanese one or the english dub, if it's the former then that would explain why I didn't hear him say that
Anti-Mega propaganda to fuel the Gen 7 Z-move meta
i actualy thought about it as well. make people not use megas but instead z-moves.even though everyone in their mother that plays competitively will still use megas.
How? If anything it's a nice way to shake up the Mega heavy meta lately.
Teodor Bibita In VGC, they stopped allowing Megas
I can only imagine what N's thinking of all this
Mega Evolution is overrated and biased in their availability, Z-moves are clearly better.
Wow. Mega Evolution sounds like it does what Pokerus SHOULD do: It makes Pokemon stronger in the short term, but it also corrupts and hurts them.
I think I get what they were going for here with the Ultimate Weapon corrupting life to this day while also bestowing incredible power, but it seems overly cruel. Who are you, strange Gamefreak employee who likes to make children cry?
WHY????
WHY THO?????
WHY GAME FREAK?????/??
ISN'T ANXIETY ENOUGH FOR OUR LIFE, AND NOW WE NEED A CORRUPTED CHILD AND A DEPRESSED MOTHER?
GOODNESS GAME FREAK.
This is contradicting to what the anime and the game says about mega evolution, first of all it requires a good bond (even if you're a villain you can get this), the Pokedex is just not true, it even says you can't lose a battle if you have Victini on your side, if you want to believe in the Pokedex then you have to believe in all the entries no exceptions, and you'll find several ones that are unbelievable.
It's much like people who I believe every word in the bible as completely true and scientific as opposed to mostly symbolic like there suppose to.
veracsthedefiled True
A sense for battle maybe. In war you depend on your other team members. Based on the horrible things that people are already doing in this world, I wouldn't doubt it. BTW is the anime even cannon?
Mlpfanboy I love u
veracsthedefiled Y'know, the same anime that said fire was supereffective against water, and that Nidoqueen is a fire type.
"R.I.P. muscles, guess you don;t need those anymore."
Mega Alakazam literally doesn't require its muscles to function, it can just use its telekinetic powers to force its body to do whatever it wants. Literally all it has done by going Mega is gain enough psychic power to destroy a small city.
Also, Scizor and Lucario don't even actually involve any pain going to the mega evolved pokemon at all, and that Mega Khangaskhan thing was quite the slippery slope you went down there, so maybe next time don't go with the "NO HAPPINESS EVER" thing immediately.
Yeah, Lucario would be emotionally damaged in that case, I'll give you that, but where, might I ask, is any of the comedic value in this video? I get it, he's poking a bit of fun at the pokedex and such, but where's the comedic value?
Pinsir's mega dex is pretty fun. It describes how it becomes overwhelmed with happiness since its wings fully develop, allowing it to fly.
To fair gyrados already has violent tendencies in its base form even stating that it has so much rage that it may not stop until it has destroyed an entire city.
I wonder why they decided to make these entries so dark.
LucianoThePig cause it's pokemon
Probably Rotom, since it's a ghost-type.
OneOnlyDan That's a good theory there
i heard its because they wanted to focus on z moves
LucianoThePig i see it as a good sign actually. Having a slightly more mature tone hidden cleverly in the pokedex is a good way of catering to older fans without changing the game to a grimdark edgy mess (though the game's plot is definitely a step above most previous gens) Sure, pokedex entries have always had its share of rather scary or creepy ones, but it seems to be the most apparent in this gen.
Dear JWittz,
No.
Sincerely, No.
but mega lucario almost murders pikachu in the anime, its true go watch it (before the gym battle)
RAYMND
It also loves to snap bones and watch his foes bleed to death.
Did you even watch the video?
I’m gonna tell you, I’ve seen this video before. The new mega evolution battle royale video inspired me to come back. That video made every mega evolution look so horrific 😭
I'm impressed with how far Pokémon has come. It started out as just catch em all and become the very best but now there's all kinds of lore within Pokémon it actually made it a lot better in my opinion.
We have a Rotom, a pokemon known for being a troll, in our pokedex, it could be trolling us a bit.
actually you get the pokedex entries before rotom, so its pre programmed
but in the anime... rotom records all new data to the pokedex..... so... whatever rotom sees the pokemon do, it records it ( like the grass starter*forgot its name* likes to sleep in bags)
Anime is never canon
Knight The anime is canon to itself.
Gen VI: Mega Evolution is generated by a special bond between Pokémon and Trainer!
Gen VII: Quit having fun and don’t Mega Evolve your Pokémon!
So basically, Mega Evolution is like giving your Pokemon Steroids or some other/similar harmfull drugs?
eeyup
a defiant skittle it's alolan propaganda. Mega evolution dosnt really do that.
Harmful drugs made of souls and the broken dreams of the departed.
Volcanion/Magearna movie. Enough has been said.
Mlpfanboy that's right.
I do not like how they implemented mega evolution. Mega evolution has no downside in battle,but the biggest insult for me are the pokemon they decided to give Megas to. Giving Megas to Beedrill,Lopunny,Audino,Absol,Mawile, Pidgeot,Kangaskhan (I might have forgotten some) and the starters was a great idea. Every other Mega can be divided into 3 categories:1.Pokemon had a lot of potential for a normal evolution 2.Pokemon was strong and popular enough without it 3.REALLY? FREAKING LEGENDARIES AND PSEUDO LEGENDARIES NEEDED A BOOST IN POWER AND/OR POPULARITY?
***** Mega Ampharos just got some hair (real creative),Salamance became a croissant,and Houndoom had so much potential for a normal evolution.
+TundrazZ That's a terrible reason to drastically change the way they play.
What clip with Pikachu and Lucario fighting actually from the anime? That fight looks brutal.
TheGamedawg Yes, it's from the anime. (Specifically, the episode Mega Revelations.)
And yes, that fight is brutal with a capital BRU. With how happy go lucky so much of the XY anime was (oh no, the machine exploded, now everyone has an afro lolololol) seeing Lucario go that rough on Pikachu was kind of unsettling...
Strain42
It just wants to watch Pikachu die a slow, painful death, and hear his bones snap.
TheGamedawg it is brutal and it still scares me O_O
That was what happened the first time Korrina's Lucario Mega Evolved. Their bond wasn't strong enough, so Lucario couldn't contain its power, and its fighting instinct took over. Not to mention, that look in its eye was downright scary.
TheJWittz, Mega Ampharos in USUM is surprisingly heartwarming. Also Rayquaza can just go Mega because it is just that awesome.
Rotom is also a known troll.
The bond part probably refers about the pain and torment they know they'll go through, and they need the trust between trainer and pokemon to do it, knowing very well one could die.
Wow. When I heard Mega Lucario's entree the first thing that came to my mind was Darth Vader.
well that's just a fighting style it said nothing about mental state, like with siczor, it just has powerful claws , doesn't mean it doesn't care about anything but violence, its just strong. Like Gohan. There one more dragonball z reference to pokemon. Anyone got any other ones
Kanga's mega dex entries are rather contradictory, it's Moon entry talks about how she's worried about it's future, but the Sun entry says the exact opposite, saying she enjoys and encourages her child's growth.
Man I just love all of your videos and thank you for doing them
If I have a full bond with Lucario and I mega evolve it, it isn't heartless it does thing like dodge attacks and little HEARTS appear above it's head so it's ANYTHING but heartless
I'm not saying your wrong I'm saying the game doesn't stick to its word if this was true Lucario ,for example, it's trainer/pokemon relation should be temp. muted or somthing
You got yourself a SUB! Aka Lucarmikyu part of it is because this comes from an alolan pokedex in universe the exsplanation is all of alola are far too focused on the only ways and the old ways are z moves, and mega evolution is not seen as good and no alolan trainer has ever perfected mega evolution bond. As such they do there absolute best to make mega evolution sound as bad as can be. The real outside universe reason however is that game freak wants us to dislike mega evolutions so we stop asking them for new megas, as far as im concerned it will not work on me!
As a Lucario owner myself, thank you for this.
That being said, now I've got a funny (albeit twisted) mental image: Lucario being all friendly towards its trainer while simultaneously being heartless towards its opponents. Which would make both your comment and GameFreak's Pokedex entries true at the same time.
Korrina in the anime? She couldn't control him for a while and rampaged as if it were heartless! I'd say that the entries are based off of pokémon that haven't been exposed to mega evolution before or recently. Evidence later when Ash challenges Korrina and lucario with lucario being able to mega evolve with no complications!
I think Rotom is playing with us, if Mega Alakazam loses all it's muscle power, than how does it still have 50 base Attack?
by ramming his body with psychic power of course !
Kaick Filipe Wicke and Hau have the same Dex entries. You're the only one with Rotom.
You know Alakazam Barely have any power in its muscles by default? It was already moving and even keeping his head straight thanks to its immense psychic powers.
I really don't see why alakazam losing its mussle strenght is all that bad, various pokedex entries state that Alakazam's mussles are so weak they move using their minds, so the mussles weren't doing anything useful anyways.
The physical attacking animation makes it attack with the spoons themselves, so it's still not using muscles
You missed Mega Garchomp seeing how his arms literally melt into giant scythes or Mega Gengar transcending reality and becoming this weird multi-dimensional being.
"You missed Mega Garchomp seeing how his arms literally melt into giant scythes"
-Scyther looks at this comment and scoffs-
Yeah, but Scyther was born with sword arms, Garchomp's arms practically melt off.
i'm sorry bu that comment made me laugh Garchomp's arms melt lol
But at the end a Garchomp WILL get their hands back.
The closest a Scyther will ever get to having hands are the claws of Scizor.
A Scyther would laugh at a Mega Garchomp for complaining about his lack of hands.
Hi, I'm Hopper It's not the lack of hands, it's the pain and psychological trauma of having it's body disfigurated. The pokédex even says that the pain makes it go into a rampage and destroy everything it can see.
its similair what Kazarina says about forcing Dharak to evolve in Bakugan that it would EXTREMELY painfull that may cost him his life and you hear him screaming in pain
Alakazams mega entry resembles to the act of : not needing muscle strength but using soul power aka phicic power to defeat enemy's,
Basically it has reached to ultimate level of phicic energy and is super power full
I hope you under stand
T.D.G Leonidas w/ friends also it's not too far from what it was before. Before mega evolution alakazams muscle tissue was already wilting due to lack of need because its psychic powers are that strong.
I guess the point is that our Character in-game has such a powerful bond with his/her Pokemon they are able to overcome the negatives of Mega-Evolution. Hence why Salamence never turns on you etc etc.
I think they are hinting something about pokemon mega evolution being bad in the future.
Pandie Goodies No
TheGeoXWar Why else would the pokedex entries would be so dark though? Like this is some really dark stuff.
To be fair, the Pokedex has entries for normal Pokemon that are dark, so this can be added to that.
Pandie Goodies Most of the pokedex entries in SM are dark.
For example
Primeape has been known to become so angry that it dies as a result. Its face looks peaceful in death, however.
TheGeoXWar I think that it's just Rotom trolling the Trainer
5:08 I just realized that mega khanghaskan child was dabbing
So he's not just good at fighting >_>
He's good at spreading cancer too!
GiggleWisp Fidget Spinner confirmed as a new hold item?
He was dabbing at his stomach.
He's also good at maintaining his virginity!
that is a terrible dab, so it's bad at dabbing..
Funny thing about lucario. Riolu was the first pokemon i ever caught in a pokemon game. I then saw the episode of the anime where riolu evolves during a fight in a stadium and spent the next 2 hours grinding to evolve him
The Salamence entry doesn't mean it will betray the trainer, it means it can turn on the trainer. The trainer has to be a furry tho
Lol
Rainbow Pigeon if the trainer is a furry, mega salamence will think he's a Pokemon
Rainbow Pigeon
As a furry I'm slightly offended. Makes sense tho lol.
Or rotom just has a dark sense of humour...
William Holtzclaw lol
William Holtzclaw hahahaha
true
William Holtzclaw what
Now I feel bad for all the times I mega evolved my Sceptile, and then every time I get a Sceptile, I name it after the first one...
A true bond is what allows a Pokémon to stand the terrors of mega evolution to please so show gratitude
This theory is probably supposed to be serious, but I can't stop laughing because it makes me think of the videos of pastors saying that Pokemon was "satanic" and taught kids about the "evils" of evolution.
Articuno Forever Why didn't they ever go after Yu-Gi-Oh!?
Liam F.
They did. It just wasn't that big
i hate those false christians ugh...
HOW DO THEY SLEEP AT NIGHT!
The Wily Wimpod
IDK either.
My whole family is Christian,and once I convinced my mother that it's just a game.
She understood me well, like a normal person would.
However I know some people that believe in the "Pokédemon" theory.They easily believe anything they see in internet & TV.
These ones are REALLY ignorant.
Yeah, the ignorant ones are the loud ones too. Also, I'm the Gen7 Counterpart to you!
